I get what you're saying, but I hope you don't think my comments are based on the far end of your scale. I will admit that I do like knowing that if I have an issue with a product, there is a company on these shores that stands behind it and represents my interest. I'll pay for that privilege...

Oh, I know that most of our consumables are made elsewhere, but we do depend on the provider, if you will. If your Apple product takes a dump on you, there is recourse. If your Apple knock off takes a dump, you just go get a new one, or are out. Therein lies the difference. If you buy a...

Same here. There is calculated risk in anything we do. We take measures to reduce risk, though. I'd assume, by and large, the bicycles you own/owned were acquired through normal channels.... I'm talking about established bike companies that stand behind their product and have done the R&D...

I can live with that. I've been reading a lot about the "open-mold" carbon fiber (wedgie bike) frames the Chinese are selling and people are dubious of the strength quality of the bikes. Of course, there are opinions all over the place on whether or not it's worth it. The most compelling...

This all comes around full circle to the whole weight weenie thing. It cracks me up when I see a guy on a 15 pound wonder bike and you wonder why he bikes! Yes, yes, all things being equal, if you are racing, your training is on par and a few grams are gonna make the difference, then sure, why...

Definitely a rip-off of Cruzbike design. The sad thing is, people will probably buy it.

Another option is to put the skewer in the other direction. When the time comes, I flip the bike upside down, resting it on the hoods and seat back. I pull the skewer out just far enough to pull the wheel out and then run it back through while I fiddle with the tire. To put the wheel back is...

I'd like to see a helicopter thingy added to the front end.

That bike could be one of the original 12, but I am dubious of that. Cruzbikes didn't have serial numbers, originally. My 1.0 is definitely not one of the original 12, but it still has the COA sticker on the seat that says it is. In fact, I had two 1.0 frames and neither had serial numbers...

Did you ever get your V built up?

I figured you would be he!

Don't think I wasn't already thinking that! Mark

LOL!! Thanks, but I don't think I'll be hobbling up that way any time too soon! Thanks for the input, though. It fits the CB skewers just fine? Mark

I recently got my foot someplace it shouldn't have been and ended up with a spiral fracture to the metatarsal bone of my little toe. I haven't seen a real-live doctor, yet, only the PA at urgent care, but they tell me it has not displaced. My appointment with the orthopedic is set for July...

She's tolerant, to a point. I think that would breach the point! Going good, for low tech. Still dialing in a couple things, but it's ridable and enjoyable. Yes, way overdue. We're heading out on vacation this week, maybe when we get back, we can set up a ride. Mark

My wife would kill me if I built a bike in the kitchen. Just sayin'. Mark

LOL!! It sounds like What they did was basically reverted back to the Silvio 1.0 BB clamp system, except now it's welded to the chain stays instead of the CF yoke that bolts up to it. Mark

Does it bother anybody else that the rear brake line appears to just be flapping around out in the breeze? Otherwise, it appears to be a nicely designed bike, but that sticks out, to me. Mark

I tried one of those. You know what/ They don't really work. Mark

Seat extension. It said it came with a seat extension.
